Will Bridger, CEO at Compre, said: “I am delighted that all regulatory approvals have now been granted, which allows us to press on with new partners Cinven and BCI toward our ambitious growth.

I am also delighted that former PartnerRe chief executive, Emmanuel Clarke and former CEO of Axa Belgium Frank Koster will join our board as non-executive directors with Emmanuel also assuming the position of chairman of the group. I have no doubt that their long and deep insurance expertise will be invaluable to us as we grow.”
